Answer 1

"Ellsworth"- Rascal Flatts


Grandma burned the biscuits
Nearly took the house down with her.
Now she's in assisted livin'
We all knew that day would come.
We knew she was to gone to drive
The day she parked on I-65.
Found her on the shoulder cryin'
She didn't know where she was.
Its like her mind just quit.
Oh but bring up grandpa- its like someone flipped a switch.

A front porch light and a blue Desota,
Couple a straws and a coca cola:
You can see it all goin' down.
A handsome boy in army green
A tear on his face- down on a knee,
Shaky voce- a diamond ring should put you in that town.
Tomorrow she won't remember what she did today,
But just ask her about Ellsworth, Kansas, 1948.

She takes out his medals,
A cigar box of letters.
Sits and scatters pictures,
Black and whites of days gone by.
We started losin' her when she lost him,
But to hear her carry on you'd swear she's seventeen again

Football games and leaves a'cracklin'
Walkin' her home in his letter jacket,
You can see it all goin' down.
A perfect night on a front porch glider,
Saying goodnight for the next 3 hours.
Her tired eyes glow wild and bright
When she talks about that town.
Tomorrow she won't remember what she did today,
But just ask her about Ellsworth, Kansas 1948

Answer 2

I second the Patsy Cline. Maybe even older stuff, Bob Willis?

If he's got a sense of humour try finding some John Prine. He's really cool, in a laid back down south kind of way. Mostly just him and an acoustic guitar. "You're the reason our kids are ugly" with Dolores Keane would be funny, coming from his kids :) He did the original 'speed of the sound of loneliness' too, which you'll surely recognise when you hear it, it's been covered enough. A lot of his songs are bittersweet, about putting up with someone's faults because you love them, mightily appropriate by the sounds of it.

Answer 3

Madness - Our House Talking Heads - Burning Down the House Animals - House of the Rising Sun

Answer 4

Hrm, maybe some Patsy Cline or Kitty Wells for old country?
